What is real estate like in the Fort Polk, Louisiana region?

Hey everyone,

I'm in the Army in Korea. Going to PCS to Fort Polk soon. I'm interested in using my VA loan to house hack in the region. I haven't gotten in contact with any local realtors yet but from what I can see, finding multifamily property seems limited online. I'm also interested in BRRRR but would consider living in a SFH that I can add value to. I'm open to many options. Anyone familiar with the Fort Polk area and willing to share any information?

Me: I have an Airbnb in Nashville, long term rental in Fayetteville, NC (VA loan so it would take some entitlement away but not much being an $86,500 loan), and a Duplex in Hendersonville, NC being house hacked by my girlfriend (co loan)

Thank you!

Lots of on the ground opportunities here, people are moving out of the area after Hurricane Laura.

If you were ever interested in this market then now is the time to drive down here.

People are looking for cash only, "AS IS" deals to leave their homes.

Super low home prices but bring dehumidifiers and a generator so you can salvage the water damaged homes.

If any home in Calcasieu Parish Louisiana is water damaged from wind driven rains and it is not air conditioned within a month it will be a total gut to restore.
